Gentle Formula

Won't irritate your codebase. Safe for use on legacy systems, monorepos, and even that jQuery project from 2012.

I was mass years deep in a yak shaving rabbit hole. Docker configs, SSL certs, DNS propagation... One application of Yak Nair MAX and I finally deployed to production.

Important Safety Information

Do not use Yak Nair on tasks that are actually important. Side effects may include: shipping too fast, mass merge conflicts, and the uncomfortable realization that some yaks needed shaving after all.
If you experience sudden productivity lasting more than 4 sprints, consult your engineering manager. Keep away from project managers — may cause unrealistic expectations.
